Performance Score: 5

Glen Johnson's performances over the last year continue to be an anxious topic of conversation for Liverpool fans, and although he looked more in tune with the game against Manchester United, he was sloppy in possession on several occasions.

Performance Score: 6

It was a good game for Martin Skrtel, who was perhaps left exposed when Rooney sneaked behind him to volley in United's equaliser. He will definitely be good competition for Dejan Lovren and Mamadou Sakho this season.

3. Philippe Coutinho

Performance Score: 8

Brilliant skill and dribbling from Brazilian Philippe Coutinho make him a very exciting player to watch in 2014-15. The exit of Luis Suarez will surely open the door for the 22-year-old to step up onto centre stage.

Performance Score: 8

This season could be the one in which Mamadou Sakho establishes himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League, and a solid performance against United gave him good grounds for progression.

Sakho was athletic and strong in the air throughout his 73 minutes in the game, and Liverpool fans will be relishing seeing him and Lovren in defence together when the season begins.
